Dear Wine Friends,

I get a lot of emails asking which wine tours I will do in 2019. In 2019 I have some custom tailored tours which leaves me with only 2 regular tours to offer.

Here they are:

Tour 1: Germany: Quintessential Riesling: April 29 - May 07, 2019

This 8 night, 9 day tour starts with a visit to the “Weinbörse” in Mainz. The Weinbörse - closed to the general public, but I secured tickets for this terrific event - is the annual showcase of wine organized by the VDP (Association of Premium German Wine Estates) of all its 210 members. This is an unparalleled opportunity to taste Germany’s premium wines from all regions. We will then travel along the Rhine, Mosel, and Nahe rivers to visit wine estates in the Rheingau, Mittelrhein, Mosel, and Rheinhessen wine regions. Join us as we discover the diverse, elegant, unique, and aromatic wines of Germany: dry, sweet, white, some Pinot-Noir.

I always travel with a small group (max. 12 people) to get you access to the behind the scene of winemaking. This year’s tour is almost full. There are only three slots left: 1 double room and 1 single room. Browse the tour's website starting with https://ombiasypr.com/index.php/wine-tours/germany-north/germany-north-itinerary , where you find the itinerary. On other pages you find the pricing and how to register for this tour. The policy is “first come first serve".

Tour 2: Immersion in Bordeaux: September 03 - September 12, 2019

During this 9 night, 10 day tour we discover the Left Bank, the Right Bank, Grave, Pessac-Léognan, Sauterne, as well as some not so famous wine growing regions in the Bordelais. We visit famous classified Châteaux and so-called Petits Châteaux, where excellent wines are produced; we will see how a barrique is made; we learn how oysters are raised in the Arcachon Bay; we put an emphasis on exquisite wine and food pairings with meals in gorgeous Châteaux, we learn about the “Place de Bordeaux; we discover the vibrant and cool city of Bordeaux with its countless wine bars. In short: this tour to the Bordeaux region takes in all aspects that you need to know to understand what “Bordeaux” really entails. At this very early point in the year the tour is already nicely booked. There are only 5 slots left: 2 double rooms and 1 single room. So, hurry up and register for this tour if you are planning a trip to Bordeaux later in the year. Browse the tour's website starting with https://ombiasypr.com/index.php/wine-tours/bordeaux/bordeaux-itinerary, where you find the itinerary. On other pages you find the pricing and how to register for this tour. The policy is “first come first serve".

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me if you have further questions. I am more than happy to give you all information you may need.

Have a wonderful Sunday afternoon.

Annette
